The way I see it, "sinking" it actually just stuns the vessel and makes it unable to take any actions. During which time you can climb aboard and commandeer it.

I can see why they decided to do more than just a tease or vague hint towards the future this time. A lot of people have been turned off by all the foundational changes, and lack of sandbox updates. Rare NEEDED to establish trust with many of these folks again. And this preview event was the perfect way to do it. There's no longer a question of if future seasons will be significant. We know exactly what's coming, and it's all they promised and more. What has me most excited about this, is Rare's clear willingness to break the mold. Before they were reluctant to introduce things like new weapons or something like a massive ship, for fear of upsetting the balance. Now they're doing it BECAUSE it'll shake up the balance and keep the game from getting stale. That willingness to try something crazy sets an amazing precedence for the quality of updates moving forward. I genuinely had thought that the days of true game changing updates like this were something we'd only see year 1, when they were scrambling to get the game into a truly finished state. Now I can't wait for all of these amazing changes, and I'm beyond excited for the future of this game.

The burning blade is by far the best part for me, along with the grapple gun. Allows for more boarding and ways to catch running ships. You overshot, shoot down like seen in the video. You undershot or got knocked off, use it to get back on. I like it. But actually becoming the world event is so cool. I'm sure some folk are gonna make servers really rough to play on, but conquering it and getting to actually do it yourself is so cool. Plus you could just server hop if the folk who currently control it are really aggressive. You'll feel like a true captain with a crew of skellies and a bad ass ship too. The true scourge of the seas!

Unless rare locks out the weapons cabinet on enemy ships there’s nothing to stop a skilled enough player from grapple boarding dancing their way to the cabinet and double gunning the enemy crew.

I think the Zip line gun should work more like a swing shot, if there’s any reeling in it should be done slowly enough that 1. Cannon shot close to enemy ships will land u on the ship but if shot too far you’ll miss the mark Or 2. You cant use it to get to higher ground, only to bridge a gap at same or lower ground while still allowing players to control the direction of the swing. As for the harpoon gun, I would have preferred if it was tied to the crows nest and only allowed players to zip down to lower platforms. It gives it balance cuz enemy players on ships can destroy the zip line if they’re quick enough (since it’s close to ground lvl), requires players to climb up the ladder to the crows nest more (more crows nest utility) (and allows players to be spotted and taken out before boarding which is a good skill play). As it stand I feel these 2 tools are a bit too op.

Also, you must have misunderstood as they wouldn’t be the same as a sword lunge distance covered. Players would need to aim at another ships mast, but as long as it hooks to an elevated object, they should still be able to swing from it

@@mikael100100 it’s not a gimmick as it would allow one to still board ships at mid to close range, with the limitation that you wouldn’t be able to walk on it upwards, and you wouldn’t be able to shoot the zip line somewhere where it can’t be countered. If anything, it would make the crows nest more viable. What do players currently use the crows nest for? It’s better to have a crew mate handling sails, steering, repairs, or ready on cannons than being up there wasting everyone’s time. Barely will u see experienced players in the crows nest. Basically just allows u to take in the sight as spotting isn’t too hard from below either. As for the swing shot, it doesn’t allow players to be boarded so easily. As they showed it, it practically takes no skill to board. You can be in the water and in less than 2 seconds you’re on the enemy ship. Either the swing shot comes with a reel in mechanic, that slowly pulls you up the ship, giving enemy players enough time to react, or you can board ships by using the swing shot on your own mast or enemy masts to swing yourself over.

I’m not someone who enjoys to pvp just for the sake of it. I prefer pvp environments like arena not open world. Too much risk and time needed for my solo and very limited play style.
